Safari Program Overview:
The group will meet just outside the beautiful city of Arusha - also known as the 'gateway to safari' the city is set at the base on Mount Meru and offers incredible landscape and views.
A light aircraft flight from Arusha to the Central Serengeti - saves times and avoids the long bumpy drive to the Serengeti. Once arriving in the Serengeti the adventure begins immediately. Spend the next 5 days and 4 nights in the Serengeti, exploring two prominent regions of the area. After your time in the Serengeti spend 2 incredible nights on the Ngorongoro Crater rim - allowing ample time in each area for game viewing and relaxation.
On October 18th - guests can choose to return to Arusha that day for an evening return flight home or can Add On an additional night in Karatu - this additional night is recommended as it builds some flexibility in the program and allows travellers time to relax and enjoy some other activities - such as the Lake Manyara Biking Tour!
Having a private guide/driver allows guests to experience the bush in their own way and at their own pace - you decide what time you want to game drive at and for how long (of course with the advice from your experienced guide).
